harpman58 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Can someone give me a definitive answer to what "Presence" is on the AMP setting. Presence in relation to what? Haven't been able to get a straight answer. If someone is going to say "Presence in the mix", then what is "Volume", same thing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_m Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 It's modeling the presence knob on a guitar amp. The presence knob on a guitar amp is basically a boost of the upper mid-range frequencies, but there's no universally accepted definition of how it's implemented. It varies on a model-per-model basis. This is a quick overview: https://wgs4.com/what-exactly-does-presence-control-do-tube-amp Basically, turning it up tends to give you more "bite" or clarity. Turn it up too much, and it can get fizzy, at least on some models. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harpman58 Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 Phil, thanks for the clarification. Being a harmonica player, I would probably set it lower since the harmonica is such a bright instrument already and I try to cut a lot of the mids and highs anyway. I guess it's all subjective to what your ear hears, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
